An Exclusive Event at Centura in Quebec City
Les Elles de la construction invite you to Québec for an exclusive event at Centura, celebrating the opening of its largest showroom in the country.
Far more than a simple showroom visit, this 5 à 7 discovery event will give you access to the behind-the-scenes of the establishment, including spaces and content usually reserved for the internal team and privileged partners. You will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the strategic choices behind the collections, emerging trends in tile and surface coverings, as well as the operational realities of a nationally significant branch.
The event will begin with a networking reception featuring an Italian-style cocktail, followed by welcoming remarks from Catherine Martineau, Director of the Québec branch and the first woman to lead a Centura branch nationwide, and Pierre-Philippe Guérette, General Manager.
They will reflect on Centura’s history, the role of women in the industry and within the company, as well as the connection to the mission of Les Elles de la construction. Catherine Martineau will also share her vision, career journey and the leadership challenges in a historically male-dominated environment, while highlighting the latest trends and innovations in tile.
“I am immensely proud to have held the position of Director of the Centura Québec branch for nearly four years. This appointment represents much more than a professional milestone: it reflects the trust placed in me and the belief that talent and passion have no gender. Being the first woman to lead a branch in this context is an honour, but above all, a responsibility. I hope to inspire other women to believe in their potential, to take bold steps and to trust themselves.”
— Catherine Martineau
Participants will then enjoy an exclusive guided tour in two groups, while continuing to connect with professionals from the construction, architecture and design industries. It will be an opportunity to discover Centura’s world, expertise and commitment to diversity.
A must-attend event in Québec for those who want to see beyond the showroom.
